04 Oct 2004	Anony Mous	'Splash Screen' already does that. It also fits the duration of its visibility to the time it takes to load the program. See: http://www.mathworks.nl/matlabcentral/fileexchange/loadFile.do?objectId=4891&objectType=FILE
10 Jun 2005	John Bush	Good example!I have also seen the 'Splash Screen' Anony Mous mentioned. I think that is a 'Splash Window' not a 'Splash Screen'!
03 Feb 2006	charles lehalle	only needs a way to write text on the top of the image (for the version number for instance)
22 Sep 2006	Tom Crocker	Easily modified to return a handle to the created screen so you can destroy it yourself once your GUI has finished loading (rather than having to guess)
28 Jan 2007	MATLAB Lover	Please visit http://e.simwe.com/html/2/8/4/1/3/space.html for the latest version.
25 Jun 2007	John Simeral	Very nice. You can also raise the splash window to the top (foreground) by adding win.toFront after the win.show command.
05 Jul 2007	john baldwinson	Is there an English version of latest version?
14 Nov 2007	ma ma
26 Apr 2008	Durga Shrestha	It crashes MATLAB R2008a.
08 May 2009	Jveer	please add support for transparency
01 Jun 2009	Qun HAN	To Jveer： The image is displayed on a JWindow. There is no means to make a JWindow transparent as far as I know. May be the future version of JAVA will add this function.
